7inch one will launch after sept as I have been told, but nothing concrete. If that telco say they still can't commit, idk what will be the next step yet.

haha i using the 9810 alr. i don't wanna have to keep turning bridge on and off leh. and if i leave the bridge on my batt on my phone can't last. very irritating..that's why wanted to get the 4g playbook cos more convenient to use..but if really have to wait so long i think i'll just make do first haha

Ah true that.

Use the sanyo battery pack; add 5000mah of juice.

But is pay at least $5+ more per month for extra micro sim

Can't seem to find anywhere selling the 64GB 1GHz non-4G playbook anymore.

xtramadness · 30-07-2012, 11:25 PM

Its still in production, should be able to find

I checked spider88.com.sg, Challenger etc. No one seems to have it in stock anymore.

I am still thinking about whether to get the non-4G, or wait for the 7-inch 32GB 4G model to take advantage of the extra 0.5GHz CPU clock speed, and have the option of 4G if I decide to use 4G instead of Bridge.

Ah true them.

I might be able to find a few at normal (expensive) retail price somewhere.

4G, you'll need get a microsim, and it has to be a special version one (if I recall correctly) and have to apparently pay extra for that. Date of release won't be anytime early from what I was told earlier this month haven't really asked them again. Singtel & starhub has it in testing for months already, while the last problematic newbie was late (very) in the game of network and this 4g device.

true..but i don't mind paying the extra 5 bucks leh...i'm using innergie's pocketcell now. very good charger, but very mafan to keep in pocket when charging haha!

Thanks for the info Maddy.

Do you know whether the multiSim for the playbook follows the same plan as the BB phone? For example, I have BB plan and BB dataroam. If I get the multiSim for Playbook, will the playbook have BB dataroam access through 4G (provided the foreign country support 4G, of course)?...Hmmm...Am I even making sense of this?
